South Carolina’s top high school football players will face off one last time this season in the 2019 Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 14. The annual north-south game, organized by the S.C. Athletic Coaches Association, takes place at Doug Shaw Memorial Stadium in Myrtle Beach with a noon kickoff. The match-up, now in its 72nd year, is the oldest continuous all-star football game in the South.
This marks the seventh year South Carolina’s Touchstone Energy Cooperatives have sponsored the bowl game, which recognizes students from across the state, not just for their athletic ability, but for their character on and off the field. These young men develop a true spirit of camaraderie throughout the week leading up to the big game—honing their skills and developing friendships that last a lifetime. Touchstone Energy is an alliance of local, independent, member-owned electric co-ops that work together to deliver energy solutions and support for their communities.
Among the 88 players selected to the high school all-star game is Floyd Hart, Jr. of Orangeburg-Wilkinson and Michael Brunson, Jr. of Calhoun County High School, two local standout football players. They were honored by Tri-County Electric Cooperative’s CEO Chad Lowder and board member Coach Willie Jeffries at the Orangeburg Touchdown Club on Thursday, November 7th, 2019.
